It is becoming increasingly clear that the war in Syria defies all logic. It is driven by cynical rivals who use short-term tactics without pursuing any long-term strategies.
Who is forming alliances with whom and why? Nothing seems to make sense, and chaos and new partnerships are constantly emerging.
Moscow has seemingly given Ankara the green light for its incursion into northern Syria. Turkey is fueling tension with its NATO partner the United States, who, in turn, backs the Syrian Kurds.
The war in Syria has lost its aim. And it will probably not be found. Would Macron dare send French fighter jets to combat the Russians? And after the intervention in Libya and its catastrophic consequences.
In retrospect, it was not wise to launch the military intervention against the "Islamic State" in the summer of 2014 without international legitimacy. Things continued to go downhill after making that colossal mistake.
War has its own dark laws. If the situation does not improve, then the arbitrary slaughtering will continue, guided by the great masters of cynicism who no longer have a goal at least not a worthy one.
